Stanley Kubrick - From the Choices category:
You sit at the board and suddenly your heart leaps. Your hand trembles to pick up the piece and move it. But what chess teaches you is that you must sit there calmly and think about whether it's really a good idea and whether there are other, better ideas. (Stanley Kubrick)
Stanley Kubrick - From the Depression category:
The world's religions, for all their parochialism, did supply a kind of consolation for this great ache... This shattering recognition of our mortality is at the root of far more mental illness than I suspect even psychiatrists are aware. (Stanley Kubrick)
Stanley Kubrick - From the Earth category:
The destruction of this planet would have no significance on a cosmic scale. (Stanley Kubrick)
Stanley Kubrick - From the Freedom category:
A filmmaker has almost the same freedom as a novelist has when he buys himself some paper. (Stanley Kubrick)
Stanley Kubrick - From the Magic category:
The screen is a magic medium. It has such power that it can retain interest as it conveys emotions and moods that no other art form can hope to tackle. (Stanley Kubrick)
Stanley Kubrick - From the Meaning category:
The very meaninglessness of life forces man to create his own meaning. (Stanley Kubrick)
Stanley Kubrick - From the Mysteries category:
There's something in the human personality which resents things that are clear, and conversely, something which is attracted to puzzles, enigmas, and allegories. (Stanley Kubrick)
Stanley Kubrick - From the Performance category:
A film is - or should be - more like music than like fiction. It should be a progression of moods and feelings. The theme, what's behind the emotion, the meaning, all that comes later. (Stanley Kubrick)
Stanley Kubrick - From the Problems category:
If you can talk brilliantly about a problem, it can create the consoling illusion that it has been mastered. (Stanley Kubrick)
Stanley Kubrick - From the Production category:
One man writes a novel. One man writes a symphony. It is essential that one man make a film. (Stanley Kubrick)
Stanley Kubrick - From the Quotations category:
I don't like doing interviews. There is always the problem of being misquoted or, what's even worse, of being quoted exactly. (Stanley Kubrick)
Stanley Kubrick - From the Recognition category:
My reputation has grown slowly. (Stanley Kubrick)
Stanley Kubrick - From the Standards category:
In the end, the test of a work of art is our affection for it, not our ability to explain why it is good. (Stanley Kubrick)
Stanley Kubrick - From the Surrealism category:
I have always enjoyed dealing with a slightly surrealistic situation and presenting it in a realistic manner. I've always liked fairy tales and myths, magical stories. I think they are somehow closer to the sense of reality one feels today than the equally stylized 'realistic' story in which a great deal of selectivity and omission has to occur in order to preserve its 'realist' style. (Stanley Kubrick)
Stanley Kubrick - From the Truth category:
The truth of a thing is the feel of it, not the think of it. (Stanley Kubrick)
Stanley Kubrick - From the Universe category:
The most terrifying fact about the universe is not that it is hostile but that it is indifferent... However vast the darkness, we must supply our own light. (Stanley Kubrick)
Stanley Kubrick - From the Writing category:
Include utter banalities. (Stanley Kubrick)
